Bizarre Creations Joins Activision
In a surprising move today, the folks over at Bizarre Creations outlined their future plans of going multiplatform with an announcement that they’re joining the Activision team! Noting all kinds of troubles with being an independent studio, Bizarre Creations puts an end to the Project Gotham Racing series with a loud bang. Call of Gotham anyone?
Yes, the team behind Project Gotham Racing is moving on to do other projects as part of this announcement. Support for the title though will continue after its launch in October. Bizarre Creations plans to develop two new properties with Activision; one being a racing game and the other a character game.
“Well, we’re no longer tied to just one platform for starters. Our future titles can be on whatever we please - we are a truly multiplatform studio now. Of course that doesn’t mean that we’ll be forced to make a port of every game to every console in existence… we simply have that option available to us.” - Bizarre Creations

notice the jab at EA in their about ports lol. but who knows what it means for PGR. the team has moved on so i suppose MS could get developers in to continue it. highly unlikely but not unheard of.

Well the jab might be because of the Boom Boom Rocket word has it that EA was also trying to get them on board. I don’t think this comes as a real shock to anyone. Sad for PGR fans but I am sure their new stuff will be as good. Not great for MS though.

I wonder if this has to do with the “not enough space/time to add night and day” thingy.

Not good if PGR goes to PS3

PGR is an IP owned by MS, so it won’t be on another system. MS could have another stuido make the next PGR.
